Detailed understanding of this model is not needed for the exam. However here is the explanation:

Sailance model helps you to understand the varying stakeholder's expectations. You may have many stakeholders, and you need to prioritize them using parameters. Salience model uses three parameters: Power: It is about stakeholders influence on outcomeLegitimacy: It is about authority, level of involvement in the projectUrgency: It is about time expected for response to their needs

The above three parameters give a view of stakeholders needs and expectations

A. Core: These are the critical project stakeholders and need a focused attentionB. Dominant: These stakeholders have power and legitimacy but do not have urgency. They need focused attention based on their response time need.C. Dependent: They don't have power, but they have expectations and need to manage accordingly.

D. Dangerous: They are not directly involved in the project but have power, thus they need to manage. For example, a senior person is trying to put his views on the project without being part of it. Such stakeholders appropriately engaged or satisfied.

E. Latent: These stakeholders only involve, if there is something has gone horribly wrong. F: Demanding: Always need immediate attentionG: Discretionary: Need regular status updateH: Non-stakeholders: Do not invest time in them.
